Mel Anderson is catching a while of a game for Watertown and Higgins is pitching. Wingfield is playing bang-up ball for Fargo. Everett Dean, formerly with the Bismarck club, is playing with Valley City. The Valley City —Times-Record, states that Manager J. /H. Sampson of the Valley City tear expressed his willingness to President Cantil- lon td send tle team to Bismarck be- cause of lack of patronage’ in Valley City, which does not have nearly so large a territory to draw from as Bismarck. The Valley City team, according’ to sports writers around the circuit, has a fine baseball team, but diffi- culties in the management has caused many slumps, together with injuries. Charles Boardman, started jn as manager but gave up the team. Aberdcen is in third place and fight- ing for the Icad, so real baseball is expected tomorrow.

As a rule such plays are brought about thréugh’ carelessness. In most cases, Wee blame rests en- tirely with onc or two players, However, two of the most unusual batting-out-of-order plays in the ma- jors, had two of the game’s brightest managers as“the offenders. y, now the manager! Louis Cardinals, pulled ons of the stunts, while the great and only: Tyrus Raymond Cobb. was re- sponsible for the other. Rickey offended when he was lead- er of the St. Louis Browns in the American League. \ In the regular lincup of the Browns, Wallace had been hitting sixth and Austin cighth. In this game, which was played ® Washington, Rickey decided: to shift his batting order, sending Austin to sixth and dropping Wallace te eighth. Rickey so notified the umpires and gave them his official lineup. But he failed to tell the players of the change. For eight innings Wallace batted sixth and Austin eighth, al- though the official batting order call- ed for just the reverse. In the ninth inning, Rickey decid- ed to send a pinch hitter in for his catcher, who Was batting seventh” Wallace led off with a double. Then Rickey sent in his pinch hitter, A this stage, John Henry, catching for Washington, noticed that Wallace, . who had hit sixth and doubled, was listed eighth in the official lineup. The umpire’s attention was called to the fact, and he called out the proper batsman, who was: Austin. Wallace, who had doubled when he batted out of order, was removed from second. The pinch hitter then hit for the catcher. Then Wallace, who had previously doubled when he batted out of order, hit in his proper position, eighth. : It is one of the few- instances where two players have batted out of order a number of times without being. detected. Had not a pinch hitter been sent in, the “boot” prob- ably would have escaped notice, Last‘ scason, Heilmann usually hit third and Veach fourth, in the De- troit lineup. On this day, Cobb de cided to reverse conditions, but fail- ed to tell the players after notifying the umpire. The game also was play- ed at Washington. In the opening inning, Heilmann came up third, when the lineup called eit Ee { SPORT BRIEFS for him to hit fourth, It was the irony of fate, that he should drive the ball into the old left-field bleach- ers at Washington, one of the’ long- est hits ever made in the park. Immediately, Manager Milan of Washington complained that he had batted out of order. There was nothing for the umptze to do but call out the proper batsman, Veach, and erase Heilmann’s home run, PRISON TEAM EXPECTS CROWD AT BENEFIT GAME Plans are under way for making the benefit baseball game to be held at the prison Sunday a big success. The proceeds of the admission fee to be charged will be turned over to James Barber, Tuttle catcher, who suffered a broken leg in a game with the prison team about twe weeks ago. s Many Tuttle people will come down for the game. i oO Chicago—Stanley Arndt, youthful golfer of Harvey, Ill., made the Olym:- pia fields club course No. 1, 6,44 IN SISTERS WIN NATIONAL HONORS AS SWIMM shows Eleanor in an action pose. a‘fast start. By NEA Service Columbus, 0., Aug. 3.—Ruth and Eleanor Smith of Columbus claim to be the only twin sisters: holding na- tional honors as swimmers and fancy divers.
